love brain

chapter 1

🝮

Checking my emails was always part of my morning routine, well not always but ever since I started acting. I'm not sure if my parents love the decisions I'm making but what are they gonna complain about? the fact that we're way more wealthy now then back then? they could be a little more supportive though. they're never at my premires or when i get an award. i feel like they think i'm living them because i'm always traveling but i'm only doing what i love.

Back to the emails, i did an audition for a movie releasing in 2026. i didn't knew much about it but it was more like a project at this point. i just knew my character was the main one and her name was clementine, how cute?my friends, walker, ariana and brady where auditioning too. i took a deep breath before clicking the email where it would say if i got the job or not. when i opened it it said i passed so i spun the chair i was sat with my arms in the air. i don't care if i already acted in a bunch of movies, being accepted always feels good.

At dinner that night i had to tell my parents the news and that i would have to go live with my aunt Evie for some months in Los Angeles, California. the cycle was always the same, i would tell them the truth they would freak out, not talk to me for some days before i left and never say goodbye properly, when i come back after some months they would act like nothing happened.

The food was my dads mac and cheese, something i always misses when i traveled.

"so... i got the email back from that audition" i say looking at my plate

"okay, when are you leaving?" my mom asks not making eye contact with me

"what? i didn't even said if i got accepted or not" i say quite confused

"oh well we just assumed" my mom is the only one talking, my dad doesn't say a word, as usual

"uhm well i did get accepted, i'm leaving to go live with aunt Evie next Thursday" i was so confuse i wasn't expecting this

"great, remember to call when you get there" what in the hell was going on

"i'm gonna be away for months, i'm gonna be at the other side of the country and you guys just don't care?"

they don't say anything and just keep eating

"okay if you don't care i also don't care. you know i should probably just live with auntie Evie forever"

i take my plate to the kitchen and clean it.

Are they just getting used to it? Are they forgetting me? Are they mad at me? god i wish i never complained about it before

when i check my phone i see that i had like 7 missed calls from ariana

shit. what happened

i think to myself. i quickly go to my room, put headphones on and call her back

"hey? ariana?" i say confused and preoccupied

"oh hey what's up?"

"girl i have 7 missed calls from you what happened?"

"oh i just wanted to know if you passed the audition"

jesus christ

i take a deep breath "yeah i passed. i was worried why didn't you text me?"

"sorryyy! i also passed by the way, and the whole group i think" 

"oh my god that amazing we're gonna act i a movie together!"

"yes! we need to hang out asap, and we still need to plan your birthday!"

"ugh that thing"

"don't tell me your not gonna do a party"

"i'm not gonna do a party"

"CLAIRE! YOURE GONNA BE SEVENTEEN AND YOURE NOT-" i cute her off not letting her finish

"i'm kidding i'm kidding" i laugh at her reaction "i'll throw the biggest party of the century!" i say exaggerating

"okay now we're talking. when are you coming to LA?"

"next Thursday probably"

"ugh i have to wait all that time. we all miss you so much"

"yeah? well you only need to wait some more days. what about Brady? how is he?" i say twirling my hair

"Claire why don't you ask him yourself" she says but not in a mean way

"i'm not just gonna randomly ask him how he is, that's weird"

"whatever you say girl, but that crush you've had for him for years is getting out of control"

"i don't care, in my brain we're married with 2 kids"

she chuckles "sureee. i have to go now, byeee love you"

"love youu"

i hang up.

ariana is pretty cool. before she was more like a set friend but we saw each other so many times we ended up being pretty close. i'm really grateful to have her, she helps me a lot to go through all the fame and the bad side of hollywood.

oh but Brady... Brady... was like the sweetest guy to me in my whole life, and still is. the problem is that he treats me like a little sister. like bro you're only 7 months older that me (i know his birthday is December 30th just pretend it's not hihi) anyways i literally get nervous when i see him even though he doesn't feel anything for me. i've tried liking other boys to forget him but i just can't! he's also in my friend group with ariana and walker also which doesn't make it very easy always seeing him and having to pretend i don't like him. ariana is the only person that knows i like him because one time i over shared a little to much...

just not to leave walker out... he's also my best friend but he's a guy so i don't talk with him about same things i talk with ariana, simply because i don't think he gives a shit if i like a boy or not. i also don't think he would keep it to himself if i told him about walker, i just know him to well. once in a set when i was 11 in 2020, with all the quarantine and stuff, they
couldn't put the food in the middle of the set and the food i brought from home at that time were only some crackers. i was still hungry, i guess walker noticed and helped me sneak into one of the grown ups cabins. we ate all the sweets that were there without anyone noticing. since then, we we're attached to the hip if i was in LA.

i can't wait to see them all again
